Fed up of the ConDems robbing the poorest and most vulnerable blind? Sympathetic to the squeezed middle? Have you eyes that can see the horrors that await the dismantling of our welfare state and all that is great and good in UK?

WE know that Glitter, but then, we are SCARE MONGERING.

Can I just re ask for a bit of spring cleaning on the blog so that we can search topics easily. Can you catagorise on blogger? Might be an idea as some of the blog titles are a little ambiguous which makes searching for info a little harder. Is garlic about for that task as she is clever techy type?

I can do that tonight if RL doesn't get going! there was a start on a tags type set up but I haven't looked at it really.

TeWiharaMeriKirihimete · 13/12/2011 16:28

sorry - the tech stuff I can do - I know no one at the telegraph.

I realised I know someone who works for TES at the weekend though if that comes up again.

Mumsnetters, tweeters and facebookers are doing a brilliant job! 
We need to keep getting the word out.

Thanks for the summary KM.

It would be a shock pleasant surprise to get a positive MN reference in one of the right-wing rags. I'm afraid I only read Private Eye, so have a warped view of the press as a whole.

TeWiharaMeriKirihimete · 13/12/2011 16:36

Always worth a shot! Are there any posts on the blog which stand out as being ones which would appeal?

garlicnutcracker · 13/12/2011 16:38

There's a bit wrong in that.

We had 2,417 Unique Visitors (PEOPLE), not 6,000.

Sorry.

Still not bad, though. If you had 2,000 people in your back garden, you'd notice Grin

Catching up on posts I missed while typing ... I was just thinking the same thing! Specifically, I was thinking we ought to be all over the Femail section of the DM.

I think the education ones would appeal particularly.

I'm tempted to say toomanycuts.blogspot.com/2011/12/are-you-sure-youre-all-right-jack.html because that emphasise how easy it is to fall into the position of relying on benefits even from a great height.

But toomanycuts.blogspot.com/2011/12/does-every-disabled-child-matter.html#comment-form the every disabled child matters campaign needs the most attention right now as it's being debated right now.

Te I don't think they will care so much about those issues. Those are things that happen to "other people" Sad

They might also support the housing stuff. The less "we" have to pay for and all that Hmm

OP posts:
TeWiharaMeriKirihimete · 13/12/2011 16:51

That's why I like the all right jack one. But maybe you are right! It's hard to judge - not being a natural conservative Confused

KateMiddlet0n · 13/12/2011 16:53

Yes I like that one too. But will they get it?

Any more twinges?

OP posts:
TeWiharaMeriKirihimete · 13/12/2011 16:55

Had quite a few yes, if it is it's v early stages though. Possibly just false labour I think - just waiting for DH to call me back so I can tell him to come home.

KateMiddlet0n · 13/12/2011 16:56

Exciting! When are you due?

OP posts:
TeWiharaMeriKirihimete · 13/12/2011 16:57

27th - and DD was late, so doesn't seem very likely that this is really it already...

TeWiharaMeriKirihimete · 13/12/2011 16:59

The Gove one has a line about 'typical' tory policy so that probably won't go down well!
